Pres. Trump insisted much of the border wall has already been built and has been 'very effective.' But he appears to be referring to border fencing built decades ago. And, despite his hard-line policies, border arrests have spiked in the past year:

According to C. Cuomo: repairs ongoing to old fences! Trump just confabulates facts!

Its called do what one can and keep it going; making it better as time goes on.

Someone need to remind Trump that since become President the number of homeless and food insecure children has increased. The homeless is now over 600,000. Melania is talking about Be Best and claim children are important but if they are hungry can they hear and think about words

The libs at ABC are still angry that they lost. Personal hits for the Democratic party is what they do. ABC enemy of the people. Lib media destroying America mentality.

Liberal media lies. Dems want crime,drugs and gangs..so if you want all that then vote Dem!

Why Dems say to the world come to the border say asylum and we let you in . No paperwork required . Their goal is to let in 1 billion people after all we got houseing for them . Wait intill they kick your door in and threw you out .

All about crap news obviously didn't pay better attention to win the president's spesks.. he reinforced some of the pre-existing border wall..

Got to admit, Chuckey boy sure looks like the Penguin in original Batman series. All he needs is a cigarette in a fancy holder.....and maybe an eyeglass. 😝

Then, why is he constantly asking for funds to build the wall? 😒

Our VP is a wise man! He listens.......

If he’s good enough to get it built with congress approving no funds for it then let him go ahead a build the rest of it with the same funding he’s already got.

Masters of the deceptive headline.

When is fixing to be outed as traitors to America . . . . they post such negatives stories about our President!!!! Merry Christmas!!!

Okay... now Mexicans can just walk around the thing. An one sided wall will never keep people out.

Really? Regardless of WHEN the wall was built, if it effective and working, then by golly gee wiz the President was right, it's working for heavens sakes! realDonaldTrump NancyPelosi chuckschumer

Anyone still believes Individual 1? Even most of his people admit he lies every single day, but they don’t care

LiarInChief

When Obama was President the Dems. were all OK with building the wall, but now President Trump wants the wall and the Dems are fighting tooth and nails to stop it. The Dems are obstructing every thing the President wants. They have so much hate in their hearts. Build the Wall.

Well at least he's good at flower arranging.

Finally, someone responding to him dillusions.

What about his statement was wrong ? Built 10 years ago or yesterday, it's helping. His hard line policies a preventing even more illgals than are sneaking in. Where is he going wrong?

It's hard but necessary. After all, Trump is the president of the U.S.

Not sure if this is FakeNews or just stupidnews

FATNIXON is next

maybe he was lying....

Checks and Balances are back

Yes he lying all the way to his Christmas TrumpShutdown aka Individual1Shutdown the wall issue is just a fake campaign promise from the LiarInChief aka Individual1

And the base isn't happy at all. He wins or loses 2020 this month.

That’s because of the idiotic catch and release program is no longer in effect and the illegals didn’t get the memo!

The fencing that was built decades ago has either been torn down & rebuilt, or been completely renovated. Also, arrests going up glows hand in hand with the wall - if the illegal border jumpers can’t waltz right across the border uninhibited, it’s easier for us to arrest them.

Then if the old wall is working why the new wall?

What a Liar-in-Chief!!!

They have spiked because we are actually catching the ones coming through the existing fence. Maybe he is referring to the wall sections in San Diego and El Paso

Anyone who believes Trump has mush for brains.

Los Demócratas NO QUIEREN INFORMACIÓN LIBRE NO QUIEREN TRANSPARENCIA

WELL that's what WE NEED the WALL!

They don't call it the Tortilla Curtain for nothing.

But you admit that it does exist and he wasn't lying? realnews

He’s lying to the uneducated.
